But your blog is the dynamic representation of your business online. I think people are intimidated to leave comments on blogs, but less so to send out a message to the twitterverse.

I'm tlaking about new frinds/relationships thur ONLY social media isn't any better or worse then the old way of IM and Chat rooms. Buidling relationships just wasn't a a catch phrase back then, yet relationships were built.

I have stronger relationships with clients, friends, friends from the past and new friends because of Facebook. Maybe it depends on who you are and what you're doing there. I'm not sure that I agree.
